Chapter 21 Old Mondstadt

"...A Chong, now that Uncle Tian is here, who are you going to hand things over to next?" Ningguang sighed and took over the conversation.

"...Hasn't the matter already been discussed?" Ming Chong retreated tactically, "Of course we have to do what needs to be done!"

"What if we need to discuss things later?"

"Go again—"

"Just capture another random person?" Ningguang interrupted him. "But then the secrecy of our cooperation can no longer be guaranteed."

Zhiyi, who was observing secretly, fell into deep thought.

Ming Chong wanted to say that after the discussion, he could physically erase the memory, but Zhiyi's backer, Uncle Tian, ​​was watching...

——But then again, since that memory bubble can make people recall simulated memories, can it also bring out the memories?

——Yes.

?

ah?

Is it really possible?

——Is this reasonable? Yipao... can really do this?!

The Simulator Answers You—The "memories" carried by the title "Time Traveler" share the same name as their destiny, making them fully capable of retrieving memories. The continent of Teyvat contains a sea of ​​memories, also known as the World Tree, and accessing this sea can enable the technology to cause a person to forget a specific memory.

What Ming Chong saw—balabala memory…balabala can…balabala forget…

Ok, now there must be no problem!

"Just let him forget about it!" Ming Chong made a decision and decided to do so from now on.

"Forget? How could I forget?" Ningguang asked back.

Ming Chong just laughed back without answering.

Died of laughter, didn't understand at all.

"...I see. It's the same as your ability to inexplicably find the person who can best solve your current problem among a crowd, right?"

“Hehe!”

"I didn't expect that you, A Chong, always use this solution. No wonder such a simple team of treasure hunters hasn't encountered any problems yet." Ningguang followed his train of thought.

“…”

Are you polite?

and--

This is actually something I just thought of.

"But what you did yesterday was too blatant. And Uncle Tian's side—"

She turned her gaze to the two victims.

Uncle Tian immediately spoke up, "Since we've already discussed what needed to be discussed, as compensation for being kidnapped, there's no need to erase the memory of this old disciple, right?"

He thought, since he'd already been sacked, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to learn a little from her, right? Moreover, she was a highly regarded disciple of this generation of Tianshu Star, so it wouldn't matter if she knew some of his secrets.

"That's not impossible..." Ming Chong took out his usual Golden Crow Seal and fiddled with it for a few times. He confirmed with A Jiang that Zhi Yi hadn't taken the Silver Crow Seal with him. "Okay, now everything is fine."

As long as there is no Crow Seal, even if that black coal ball Zhiyi knows a lot and wants to do something afterwards, it will not be able to keep up with the speed of information transmission from the treasure-stealing group.

If we consider the cheats Ming Chong had given them before, we might be able to catch those with bad intentions.

Then again, what powers had he unlocked before?

…Forget it. Since I can’t remember it, it means it’s not important.

Ming Chong gave up thinking again.

"Sorry, Uncle Tian, ​​it was this kid who offended you before." Ningguang stood up and saw the two off, smoothing things over for the silly boy on the side.

"Hahaha, everything will be fine now that we've talked it out. Ningguang, although you were a little frightened, maybe Zhiyi got the better of you!"

As the door to the private room opened, the voices gradually faded away. Ming Chong, rocking back and forth in his chair, lost in thought, didn't seem to notice Zhiyi's final, subtle glance.

Ye Lan took everything in and smiled meaningfully.

…

Afterwards, the secret recruitment of the treasure-stealing group in Liyue was carried out step by step.

Some law-abiding citizens who were desperate and needed a large amount of money in a short period of time and joined the treasure-stealing group were surprised to find that the Crow Seal also contained officially issued spies and intelligence missions.

If you complete 3 spy missions with a completion rate of over 80%, or provide 10 pieces of valid intelligence, you can join the treasure-stealing team.

The organization of the treasure-stealing group? !

What a niche word.

Once you join the group, in addition to taking on official tasks, if you want to secretly quit the group, you can also receive employment subsidies from the Liyue official, arrange work, and receive guidance and training...

——Ouch! Even Lord Yan doesn’t care about us this much!!!

—I am willing to serve the God of Thieves forever! Even if it means being a dog! (Hoarse)

——Join the Liyue Treasure Hunting Group and enjoy a wonderful life!

The most important thing is that the treasure-hunting team is also included in the official Liyue organization, but it can only be carried out privately, but the benefits are the same.

Ming Chong, who was present throughout the negotiation but didn't understand a single word, only realized it after watching the subsequent events: "Huh? ...Who did you say I let go?!"

Heartbroken.jpg

——Once there was a truly talented person standing before me, but I didn’t cherish him. Now if I were given another chance, I would definitely——

Let’s go back to our treasure-hunting team’s happy home first!

...Now that things have come to this, I might as well have some fun.

Simulation, start——

"You chose A.

You have a big brother and you respect him very much. Under his leadership, you made a big deal and you got a generous share of the stolen money.

The boss hopes that you will continue to follow him:

"A Chong, our Treasure Hunting Group is a mutual aid and coordination organization. Ever since I left the disaster-stricken Mond to develop the organization, the Treasure Hunting Group in Mond has been out of contact for nearly three years due to the blockade of news about the dragon disaster.

Your abilities are truly remarkable, and you will surely lead the treasure-hunting group to great heights. I hope you will accompany me to Mondstadt... and you will be able to choose from the treasures we receive."

Your boss is called Red Miller, he's from Mond, and he's the founder of the treasure-stealing group."

Founder!

Ming Chong immediately became excited and even felt that the loss of a talent like Zhiyi was acceptable.

But, it turns out the Treasure Hunting Group is a mutual aid and coordination organization... As expected of the founder! (Fist pump)

No wonder the Crow Seal represents the pride of the Treasure Thieves.

Isn't it just a dragon disaster?!

Fuck it!

The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar.

I'm sorry, Tevarin, (hugging Ruota tightly) there's no place for you in this house anymore! Hurrah!

"Even with the dragon plague raging, Red remained undaunted. He left his hometown to gather strength and bravely returned to his hometown to rescue the missing members.

You decide to continue following the founder.

Red takes you to Mondstadt, which is under the tyrannical rule of the Lawrence family.

At this time, the evil dragon Usa came to invade.

This is the first time you've seen a dragon this ugly."

ah?

It's not Tevarin...

Ming Chong was inexplicably disappointed.

But then I thought, it must have been very early to meet the founder of the treasure-stealing group, and—

This dragon is also very ugly.

Ming, who is obsessed with looks, felt more at ease when he shouted "Ulla".

——Even Tevarin can't soften my heart, who are you, Usa? !

—Go to hell, big lizard!

“Huh?

Why do you use "first time"?

You have no idea what to do, so you give up thinking.

At the gate of Mondstadt, the Lawrence family prepared a human sacrifice to the dragon Ursa.

You are furious.

The scene of a toad wanting to eat swan flesh suddenly became concrete.

Ignoring Boss Red's advice to take a long-term view, he started stealing right away.

With your superb stealing skills, Usa stretches out its claws one second and the human disappears the next. Whoever it wants to catch, you steal.

Return it when you are done.

Just like whack-a-mole.

But you're the one controlling the mole.

The evil dragon Usa flew into the sky in anger, swooped down, opened its bloody mouth and prepared to swallow all the human sacrifices in one gulp.

You stole them all.

Eat dirt, Usa!

"Bang!" Usa's bald purple head hit the ground heavily, and he really ate flying dirt, and it was a big mouthful.

Boss Red was stunned by the look.

The changes outside the city alarmed the Lawrence family standing behind the city gate. They made a prompt decision and decided to push out twice the number of sacrifices to calm the wrath of the dragon caused by someone unknown.

Your anger grows.

Although Ursa has been appeased, they still have your wrath to bear.

When the Lawrence opened the city gate, you switched the Lawrence and the human sacrifice. The Lawrence panicked and demanded that the gate be opened.

Unfortunately, due to your irregular theft methods, the city gate has been damaged and cannot be opened for a short time.

The dragon Usa didn't care about that. It flew away after eating its fill. You have a lot more to consider.

Then you repaired the damaged city gate and quietly followed Boss Red into Mondstadt. Boss Red was telling you about the upcoming Badminton Festival, which he hadn't attended for a long time.

Just when you were looking forward to it, as soon as you entered the city, you found Lawrence executing the human sacrifice you saved.

You feel like you've been angry enough for the next month today, but when you look closely, you see a fat, ugly Master Lawrence yelling and pointing over there.

You thought Mond was beyond saving and were about to order all the brothers in the treasure-hunting group to capture Mond. Boss Red quickly spoke up.

"Perhaps this is simply the fault of the nobles who rule Mondstadt. Let's first inquire about the situation from the treasure-stealing group in the city."

The fruit shop owner told you that because the treasure-hunting group was not well behaved, they were all pushed out by Lawrence to fight the dragon Usa.

Now Boss Red is also angry.

He immediately ordered all the treasure-hunting groups around Mondstadt to attack Mondstadt together, kill all the nobles, and divide up their treasures.

You quickly spoke—

"Boss, we still have to leave a few cattle and horses. We don't know how to manage them at all, we can only help and coordinate with each other. We will take the treasure in the future, and the rest of the work will be done by the nobles who know what's good for them."

Boss Red thinks you are worthy of being the next great thief of the Bao family, and your considerations are indeed more thoughtful than his.

You captured Mondstadt."

"Obtain CG: Guidance of Freedom"

"Lawrence's blood remained in the square for three days without clots, and the ugly head of the screaming young master Lawrence was also hung at the city gate.

Unfortunately for you, the only family that has exercised tyranny in Mond is the Lawrence family, and surprisingly, there is still a single good person left in their family.

You can only give up the remaining treasures of the Lawrence family and take a look at the big heads on their necks from time to time to feel a little relieved, but this seems to make them more efficient as slaves.

The Gunhild family had no spare energy to compete with Lawrence because of their illegitimate son's chaos and power abuse, and the head of the family's legitimate son wandered to Liyue. You have had dealings with this person before, and he is a good person.

However, the head of the family who started their illegitimate life seemed to be a commoner blue-eyed witch. He disappeared after coming down from the snowy mountains for investigation.

But you find traces of him among the common people, with his former gladiator slaves. This is also not a character like Lawrence, who will do anything to achieve his goals.

You can only regretfully let Gunhildr go.

But what is there in the snow-capped mountains?

You are a little curious.

As for the last Imonloka family——

Imon Roca: Fight! Awesome!!!

They've already suffered almost all casualties in the fight against the dragon. What's shocking to you is that the remaining ones are still gearing up for battle?!"

"You've become curious about the snowy mountains."
